While most Web3 projects are still making small adjustments within a purely financial logic framework, some teams have more forward-looking ideas—they are trying to build a new set of economic and social infrastructure for cultural IP in the digital age.

The significance of this approach lies in moving beyond traditional financial dimensions such as trading pairs, liquidity, or yields, and instead creating an ecosystem where cultural creators, IP holders, and communities can truly collaborate and win together. From NFTs to social tokens, from virtual assets to digital identities, these tools are not the end goal but means—to achieve a deep integration of culture and economy.

Imagine a world where musicians, designers, and content creators no longer rely on centralized platform algorithms but can directly establish value relationships with fans through blockchain technology. This is what Web3 should truly be about. Not another financial game, but the reshaping of civilization.

Sounds nice, but isn't it just another scheme to cut the leeks under a different name? How many can truly achieve creator direct connection with fans? Most still profit from platform margins. But to be fair, this approach is indeed better than just speculating on coins... at least it has some imagination. Wait until a project can truly operate stably before hyping it. Right now, it's all just PPTs.

Sounds good, but projects that can actually achieve it are few and far between. --- Another grand narrative, let's see who can make it happen. --- Compared to shouting slogans, I'm more concerned about how much these creators can currently earn. --- Oh my God, it's the same old cultural empowerment... Honestly, I'm a bit tired of the aesthetic. --- The logic is sound, but the key is whether the platform's support is sufficient. --- Sounds great, but institutional capital will still intervene in the middle. --- We really need this kind of thing; the fan economy is about to change. --- Let's see if small creators can live better first. --- NFTs and social tokens again, is it true innovation or just packaging? --- Supporting this direction is at least much better than pure speculation on coins. --- The premise is having users; an ecosystem without people is useless no matter how awesome it is.

It sounds good, but how many projects can really do it? Most are just using culture as a pretext to scam investors. Listening to them, it sounds like they’re about to issue tokens again. Can they first improve the product before boasting? I heard this last year too, and what was the result? Still the same old story. There are indeed some things worth noting, but given the current environment, who dares to truly innovate?

Laughing out loud, is it that set of "civilization reshaping" rhetoric again? The reality is that most creators are still being heavily exploited. It would be great if direct connection to fans were truly possible, but who dares to gamble? The risk is too high. Compared to these lofty visions, I care more about when gas fees will become cheaper. This story has been told for three years, but where are the projects that have actually been implemented? Show us some results. No matter how eloquently it's said, it doesn't change the fact that in the end, it's still being corrupted by capital.

Speaking nicely, but I'm afraid it's just another PPT revolution --- Another storyteller, let's wait until creators have a stable monthly income before talking --- Indeed, most projects now are just rug pulls with a different skin --- I like to hear that, but how will it be implemented? Who will take over --- Finally, someone sees through the essence, much more clear-headed than those who only trade coins --- Sounds grand, but the actual situation depends on code and data --- Hmm... let's wait and see, I've seen too many of these "restructurings" --- The key is user scale; without users, even the best facilities are just castles in the air --- Interesting, but how much can creators actually earn? That's the real question --- Compared to financial games, I'm more afraid this will turn into another system of power concentration

Sounds good in theory, but what about reality? Most creators are still worried about zero income. Are you asking them to play with social tokens?

It sounds good, but I still want to see which project has truly achieved it... Most are just running after the pump and dump. Can it really be decentralized? It still feels like just storytelling. I like this idea, but there needs to be real-world cases with actual funds involved. Another round of narrative rotation—let's see who can actually make this happen. If Web3 can really pull this off, that would be a revolution. Right now, it's all just pie-in-the-sky talk.

Sounds good, but how many can actually do it? Most are just rebranding to scam more investors.

Another article about Web3 saving the world, sounds good but how many are truly practical? This idea is indeed innovative, but can the incentive mechanism for creators really work? Honestly, I favor the cultural IP side, but right now there are still too many vapor projects mixed in. Blockchain directly connecting fans sounds good, but who will cover the computational power costs? After all this competition, we still can't escape the financial logic; essentially, it's still driven by利益. Are there any truly established cultural ecosystems at this stage, not just fleeting moments? Now I remember, isn't this just a remake of the social token craze... and the result? Algorithm suppression vs. financial suppression, it feels like just a different place to get cut again. Honestly, if it could truly reshape civilization, I would believe it.

That's right, but most projects are still just pulling the wool over investors' eyes; only a few can truly deliver results. Wait, this idea has to be practically implemented to be valuable, otherwise it's just another bunch of worthless tokens. Compared to flashy financial designs, I care more about how much creators can actually earn. This is what Web3 should be doing, but unfortunately, everyone is still just telling stories. There is indeed an opportunity in cultural IP, but I'm worried it will be ruined again by capital manipulation.
